Following Australia's successful World Cup campaign in Germany, talk was widespread about a possible bid for the 2018 World Cup. Finally, the Football Federation of Australia (FFA) has stated its intention to bid for the hosting of the 2018 World Cup. FFA CEO, Frank O'Neill: In the next couple of weeks, the FFA will come out with a definitive statement, likely to be that we will bid for 2018. We deserve it, the one part of the world that's never hosted the World Cup, after South Africa has hosted in 2010, is the Pacific Basin.
The bid has had great support from Australian leadership, all the way to the top man in charge.
Australian Prime Minister, John Howard: All governments agree enthusiastically that if the national body, the Football Federation of Australia, put in a bid for the 2018 World Cup then all governments would support that bid very enthusiastically.
An official statement will be released by the FFA in the coming weeks in which expected confirmation and details of an official bid will be announced by Australian football's governing body.
